The Statute of Westminster of 1285, also known as the Statute of Westminster II or the Statute of Westminster the Second,[1] like the Statute of Westminster 1275, is a code in itself, and contains the famous clause De donis conditionalibus,[2] one of the fundamental institutes of the medieval land law of England.[2]
William Stubbs says of it:[3]
The law of dower, of advowson, of appeal for felonies, is largely amended; the institution of justices of assize is remodelled, and the abuses of manorial jurisdiction repressed; the statute De religiosis, the statutes of Merton and Gloucester, are amended and re-enacted. Every clause has a bearing on the growth of the later law. The whole, like the first statute of Westminster, is a code in itself…[2]
Most of the statute was repealed in the Republic of Ireland in 1983 and the rest in 2009.[4]
